Q

General Rules concerning Autonomics of the Head

A

all sympathetic fibers are postsynaptic and rise off the superior cericval ganglion of the sympathetic trunk

they travel on vessels to the structures that they innervate (deep petorsal nerve)

presynaptic parasymapthetics come off the nuclei in the brain stem and synapse in the head (ciliary, pterygopalatine, otic and submandibualr ganglions)

all postsynaptic fibers “piggy back” on a branch of the trigeminal N. to arrive at the structure they innervate
